The drunk women and Xan walks inside the office. Xan closes the door. She sits down. Xan walks around the office while the drunk lady ramble on about her kids and husband and how he's a deadbeat dad etc. Xan looks on the detective desk. Xan sees a brown leather book. Xan opens the book and he starts flipping through pages . Xan flips and flips the drunk women rambles and rambles until Xan comes to A shocking discovery in the book is Alot of information about Xan and his kind. He tears the page out then he hears footsteps out of the interrogation room.He realize that he's almost out of time he closes the book and looks at the lady. Xan pulls out A device and he tells her to look here and it flashes as xan tells her you did not see a creature. You was hallucinating and had wayyyyyy too much to drink. Then he snaps his fingers. Detective Bishop opens the door. Officer Harvey nice to see you.

Selena is looking around for Xan.

Xan walks into the bathroom and changes back into Selena's uncle. Takes off the Uniform and make sure he looks okay. Then exists the bathroom.

Ms.Royce you ready to go?

Xan what took you so long Ask Selena?

Bad stomach ache.

You must have ate something bad.

Yes It had a Terribel taste . Said Xan.

Xan and Selena Walks out the police station and get into the car to drive home

... In Bishop's office.....

You said You seen something at the Royce Corp

Nawl I was just drunk and was hallucinating. Said the drunk lady.

Right. So you didnt see anything at all.?

No I was hallucinating and was drunk.

Okay.

Officer. Bishop yells

Yes boss.

Get her out of her. She a waste of time.

Come on lady let's go.

Jace walks into Bishop's office .

Captain A word.

Yeah what's on your mind.

Where are you taking simmers?

To where all the other Supernatural beings go

To Transylvania.

Why he's a vampire. Why not just kill him?

Because the mysterious person that gave us the blueprints to build Transylvania and the knowledge to fight things like simmers and who payed for the skills we'd need to learn told me that if I ever went through with these plans to make one promise not to kill them. Transylvania is a facility that hold supernatural beings while trying to make a cure for them. I Believe in Transylvania and I believe in that person.

It's been ten years captain. We've never seen his face or even heard his voice.All we have are notes and Messages that just get sent to us from this guy and we have no clue who he is.

I'll Tell you who he is. He's the guy that saved Monroe from being over runned by vampires and other supernatural being. The Guy who without him we'd all be dead and he's a goddamn hero in my Book.

Captain He'd be okay with bending the rules just once. This man killed hundreds not to mention i lost my team cause of that bastard.

You will fall in line boy. Now I understand that your angry. I Understand how you feel about losing men. Hell I've been there before. If We kill them then we are no better then they are that what makes us human son.

Now I'm going home To my wife.

To your wife but it's almost day time captain.

Bishop turns around and laughs.

Son. There is no sun in Monroe.

Thought you'd learn that by now .

Bishop puts on his coat and walks out the door.

Then Bishop turns around because he forgot His book and he walks towards the desk to pick up the book. He sees green ooze on the book. Bishop yells:

Someone get Forensics in here!!

The Forensics guy sam comes in the room and takes a sample of the ooze . Sam puts it in the bag. Sam looks at Bishop and goes that's interesting .

Why? Bishop ask

Well it's the same ooze substance we got from the Royce corporation crime scene.

What crime scene?

Earlier we had a group of cops bring in from the murder scene at the Royce corps it's the exact same ooze from the victims body.

Which means we are looking for the exact same killer? Which means the Killer was in here or still is. Said Bishop.

Sam walks out with the sample.

Melvin enters the room

Check this out the victim was drunk dry left looking like a husk.

Wait Wait. The witness the drunk lady said she was hallucinating and drunk she didnt see anything. Said Bishop.

So she was lying. Said Melvin

Yeah but the question is why. said bishop

Maybe something scared her or someone Said Melvin.

The only way that someone could have got to her if they was on the inside already. Said Bishop

Yeah but who? Ask Melvin.

That's what I dont know melv but someone in our police force is a killer.

Now wait a minute Bishop maybe there's a creature that can take on different forms. Read your book.

Yeah. Bishop notice a tear mark hanging out the book.

Bishop opens the page to the part the tear mark on.

Somebody or something ripped a page out this book.

Why? What purpose would it serve them? ask Melvin

To Keep us from figuring out Whose the killer. answers bishop.

... In another part of Monroe down by the docks....

A shipment is coming in filled with crates full of guns.

UV Rounds and silver nitrate rounds.

So is everything good.. This is 80 crates of Guns and ammo just like you ordered.

Good Good. Replies the man

The man looks back at his boys and they kill the deliever boys and lights a molotov and throws it on the ships causing the ship to go down in flames. The man tells them to get the Guns. Two of his goons are laughing and they high five each other. The rest picks up the crates and leaves with the man. This man Has pale skin.Stands about 6'0 with red bloodshot eyes and brown hair. He opens his phone and calls a women named Eve she's one of the many underbosses that serve in his mob family. Eve is a African American woman who stand about 5'5 with short hair. She's known for being smart but also a hothead at the same time. she handles all of His business in hope that one day he'll turn her into a vampire. Eve speaks to him on the phone. Mave darling it's been a while sense you call me. I want to know Why there is a shipment here with UV Rounds in it. More importantly when where you going to tell me that your shipment was arriving.

Mave listen I didnt know the shipment contained UV rounds. You know i would have told you if they did. Eve is sitting down in her chair at the nightclub she runs for supernatural beings and humans.

One of the servants who comes up to her with a drink while she tells him to get away. This servant stands at about 5'6 very skinny. Everbody picks on him. The nickname hes giving is cottonmouth.

The conversation between eve and mave continues on the phone with mave speaking while cottonmouth is walking away and overhearing the conversation.

Of course mave that's insane. Let me talk with to the delivery boy. Where is he?

Oh The delivery boy is dead. I had my friends shoot him and then they burned the boat.

Eve sits on the phone in silent as a tear runs down her face.

Hey Eve you still there?

Yes Mave I'm still here.

The next time something like this happens eve

Yes Mave.

As Cotton mouth over hears the whole conversation.

Eve screams and throws her phone.

Her right hand is tall man about 5'8. Tall and skinny goes by Gunslinger but his real name is Tommy. He is well known in Monroe for being eve's number one hit man. Cottonmouth walks back into the back room. As eve tells Tommy that once mave make her immortal she'll kill him.
